St Pixels being the online "church" sponsored by the UK Methodists.
Friendly people. I think I'll stick around and try and get to know the place. If I were still failing to get on in any local church, I'd be happy to make it my main or regular fellowship. As much, though, as I enjoy all most quiet and reflective forms of devotion, the silent sessions in the chatroom-style worship do seem something of an oxymoron. I'd be curious to see what happened if someone were to start *leaping around in joy* and shouting 'HALLELUJAH' and 'PRAISE THE LORD'. Maybe there still remains an inner charismatic in me, waiting to be suitably disinhibited to jump around a bit. Maybe, after all these weeks of normal, sensible parish C of Es and sedate ecumenical partnerships and friendly informal groups, maybe it's time for us to investigate something a bit louder tomorrow morning..?
(If anyone out there's ever at St Pixels, I'm gracegrace on there... my avatar's got lots of blonde hair and sneaks a cup of tea into each prayer meeting. Come and introduce yourself to me...)

I went to their site but clicked away quickly. I cannot wrap my mind around the concept of online worship. Must be too old.
My main problem with evangelical churches is precisely the Hallelujah and Praise the Lord stuff. What I love about more traditonal churches is the framework of a constant liturgy within which I can be whatever I need to be that day.
I can cry if I need to, be angry if I need to, be joyful if I need to, without feeling I'm in the wrong place while a mindless party is going on around me.
But that's just me....
